Had a very tiring but productive day at the lab today.. An extremely filling dinner later, i dont have the mood to do anything but just sit and relax to the thousands of songs i have in my computer.. Though random, some of the very nice old songs churn up and slowly but surely set me into this karaoke mode frenzy... haha its so fun to sing along sometimes or when the pitch is too high (which is often the case), mouthing the lyrics feels equally good and satisfying.

As i've often say sometimes depending on the time and situation a song is played or listen, usually there's always a piece of memory etched deep within the melody. I mean i'm sure there are songs that'll remind you of your first love, rejection, failure, happiness or even bring you back to relive certain phases of your life. When i heard Chumbawamba singing "i get knock down and i get up again... bla bla bla" instantly i drifted back to my secondary school days doing that ridiculous add math homework all the while banging my head in synchrony to the rhythm of the song...

And when Jay Chou's 半島鐵盒 begins playing, i got drifted back to this period of time when i was staring rejection squarely in the face and all... Then there's happier songs like " A whole new world"... i was back to my naivete state of innocence where i still believe in genies and magic carpets and oogle at the Oh -so -beautiful princess Jasmine.

All in all, at least to me, music seems to play a huge part in crosslinking and capturing bits and pieces of my yesteryears.. the little little things that i may not consciously try to remember. Its pretty amazing dont you think?

Anyway i was watching this mv. another old song which i adore.. simple but nice lyrics.. haha simple cos i can understand and appreciate.. lol.. and did i mention catchy tune? The MV is kinda touching too.. this is what i understand in english...Try guessing what song it is....


Chorus:

I want to be,
That angel you loved,
As depicted in the fairytale,
I'll spread my arms,
Sheltering you under my protective wings,
You must believe,
have faith that we can live a fairytale,
Where joy and happiness awaits in the end.


PS: sorry if its not accurate ya, my chinese really cannot make it...



Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. ~ Guillaume Apollinaire
